Hi,

If you’ve already signed up for the free goal setting template and on our list you may well have already read one of our other free reports “Why Traditional Goal Setting Doesn’t Always Work” (by the way, you can sign up anytime by going to our home page and signing up there www.core-resourcing.com ), even if you have, I wanted to post this today to give you an understanding why the GFG program is so powerful and why in many ways we have wayyyy undersold it as such as just a “Goal Setting” course.

What GFG does differently than many other programs out there - and we’ve looked at lots - is that it addresses parts within us that often times, we don’t even realise exist.

You may have heard David talk about “the impressioning period” during his workshops or teleseminars.  This is the period of time, usually before we are even 7 years old, that many of our fundamental beliefs and values are formed. I don’t know about you, but I find it it very hard to remember exactly what happened when I was seven let alone before then, let alone remember what I thought about what was going on and why I based decisions on things that I saw and did when I was 3 years old for instance!  So we carry around these beliefs, this way of thinking about ourselves and what we are inherently capable of (or not), usually with no idea why we think the way we do….

So, an integral part of GFG is identifying within you, the “un useful stuff” so to speak - the thoughts and behaviours that to date may well have been the thing(s) that hold you back. And lets be honest, we all carry around some unuseful baggage, theres usually some good stuff to, so imagine being able to sort through this quickly, work out the pieces that aren’t serving you well and either change those beliefs to be something more constructive or indeed leaving those old thoughts and behaviours behind - now, and only now, can you truly focus on designing what we call “higher purpose values and goals” - the sort of things that really do get you out of bed in the morning, the sort of stuff that makes your soul sing when you really focus and drive yourself towards an outcome that you know you were destined to achieve.

As the above diagram illustrates, over the course of the six week program, it’s a simple 3 step process whereby we help you take stock of where you are now, identify whats working and whats not (and apply the Core-Resourcing change patterns to fix the stuff that isn’t helpful) and then help you design where you truly want to be. The goods news is this works for people who count themselves as “strong” goal setters right through to people who have no idea what it is they really want in life - the strategy applies to all.

Anyway, I hope this helps you understand a little more about why perhaps the stuff you want to achieve just always seems elusive - often it’s not your fault, but then again, you are the only one that can fix it!
